As you can tell the website has received a much needed overhaul. It’s been a few months in the making and is a product of love and kindness on the part of several members who have collaborated on this endeavor. That being said, we realize there are a few “kinks” that are currently being worked out. The server is acting up and causing longer than normal load times. Not all of the links are working correctly and some of the content is missing. Also we are aware that the site loads oddly on the iPhone ( I thought it just “worked”). I assure you we are working on all of these issues and more. Please bear with us as we fully transition to the new site.

Merry Christmas everyone. Relax your minds and enjoy your time off. Thanks for being apart of CrossFit Greenpoint. We really do appreciate you all and are extremely thankful that you decided to be apart of this community.

See you all tomorrow

Not much relevance to this video, but it always did me in for a good laugh. Enjoy

The competition class and girls class is on hold, most likely until after the New Year. We want to make sure our current schedule works well and that things are running smoothly before we introduce more programs. Don’t fret too much, it won’t be too long.

For the Barbell Club members. There will be a specific program for this class. The Open Floor is meant for you to come in and make up a missed day. We will be using the platforms and more than likely taking turns lifting. We are doing this for a few reasons…

First, because it allows us to coach you better. When only 1 person is lifting at a time we can direct our full focus on this person.

Second, space . Self explanatory.

Third, respect. We want you to encourage your fellow lifters. Olympic lifting takes a lot of focus and concentration. This will allow you to really focus in on your lifts and be aware of what’s going on.

Class is limited to 6 people as of now. Make sure you sign in ahead of time, otherwise, it’s tough luck.

Now, on to some more fun things.

We are throwing a New Years Party. Honestly we don’t have much planned as of yet, but expect it to be epic, and expect bacon and booze. Also those annoying things that make a lot of noise. And maybe fire, except for Kevin. Kevin doesn’t work well with fire. He does recover very well though. If you need to recover from a workout quicker, ask Kevin for some of his blood.

The time is near people. Here’s what you can expect for the most part.

To preface, before I post the schedule and updates. If you happen to be coming from another facility, or have previous CrossFit training, that’s awesome. I’ve seen many of you start CrossFit and watch you grow and accomplish amazing things. You also may have noticed that the programming here can be a bit aggressive. Our coaches are competitive, and we enjoy lifting. So lift we will do.

With that being said, during the posted Open Hour times, when you come in, you have to clear your workout with a coach. I don’t particularly care how experienced you are, or think you are. Pretend you’ve never done anything, and that you’re meeting us for the first time.

Also remember this is not the same neighborhood. Treat this area with respect. We are a new establishment and are looking to be apart of this new community. We want to grow here, and want you to grow with us.

Saturday – Open House from 8AM – 6PM. This is a great time to come sign up and check out the facility. There will be no classes . We will however be shooting the shit and cooking up some food. Remember, first 50 members get a discounted rate on Unlimited Memberships.

Sunday – Open House/Open Floor – 12PM – 4PM. If you couldn’t make it in on Saturday, we’re still doing signups on Sunday. We will also be having Open Floor for members from 12PM – 4PM.

We decided to hold off on classes until after the holiday. Show up during Open Floor if you want to workout, but have something planned. If you have absolutely no clue and need some ideas, talk to the coaches. If you want to just come and hang out, that works just fine too.

If you have any questions just email either ron@crossfitgreenpoint.com or mike@crossfitgreenpoint.com. Phone calls work as well.

The time draws near. CrossFit Greenpoint stayed safe from Sandy, however, it did push back some of our orders, but we still anticipate a soft opening November 17th.

At the current moment, this is when we plan on accepting memberships. If things go really smoothly, we may even push the date back earlier. Our schedule during the soft opening period will be limited. It’s more of a time for you to come in, take a look at the facility, and get a feel for the box.

We don’t know the exact details of the schedule, but we’re most likely going to be running a limited schedule and some open floor time. Shortly after, it’s Thanksgiving , so again, we’re going to be running a very limited schedule. Once the Holiday ends, we’re going to be launching CrossFit Greenpoint fulltime. This is most likely going to be November 26th.

If you have any questions, just email info@crossfitgreenpoint.com

For our first 50 memberships, Unlimited Membership will cost $175 a month. After our first 50, the prices are as follows :

CrossFit

3x a week (can attend any Barbell Club class, however, it counts towards one of your classes. You can attend Open Floor during the weekend without it counting towards your classes) – $150 ( $12.50 per class, not including Open Floor )

6 classes total, 3x a week, that meet Tuesday / Thursday / Saturday. All classes are mandatory. Upon completion, you may attend regular classes as an Unlimited member for two weeks. Foundation programs run twice a month. - $200

First and foremost, I hope everyone is safe. I know some of you stubborn folks may not have evacuated your homes, and while I can’t say it was the most intelligent decision, I certainly cannot blame you for not wanting to leave. Home is home.

It’s pretty crazy out there, and hopefully this storm will pass soon without too much damage.

That being said, I just wanted to give you some updates on our progress.

1. We are announcing our pricing/membership details in a day or two. We keep things simple, and like we mentioned before, there won’t be any contracts. Signing up will be quick and easy.

2. We have some awesome equipment enroute, and everything should be setup by the end of next week. This includes platforms with our beautiful logo on them and top of the line weightlifting equipment. If you’ve never experienced an Eleiko bar, you’re going to fall in love.

3. We will have an All-Girls class geared towards the ladies, obviously. It will be offered once a week for now, but if there is significant interest, we shall bump up the availability.

4. Starting Now, we are offering our first Greenpoint Challenge. It’s simple really. Come up with your best “Vanity” pose (think bodybuilding) and send the picture to us. We will pick the person with the best pose, and you shall be awarded Greenpoints. We plan on offering a weekly challenge, and after four challenges, whoever has the most Greenpoints earned, shall be given a prize.
